France 2027 presidential election: Polony joins race as Le Pen leads polls
The landscape for the 2027 French presidential election is taking shape with new candidacies and significant polling shifts. Journalist and essayist Natacha Polony has officially announced her candidacy, running under her movement ‘Nous sommes la France’. Polony aims to represent ‘those orphaned by politics,’ focusing on economic sovereignty, national production, and addressing what she describes as a loss of France’s international standing.
Recent opinion polls indicate a strong position for Marine Le Pen of the Rassemblement National. Various surveys suggest she leads in multiple scenarios, with some projections showing her securing between 56% and 68% of the vote in potential second-round matchups against rivals such as Jean-Luc Mélenchon or Édouard Philippe. In the Grand Est region, Le Pen shows particularly high support, reaching up to 43% in some configurations.
Economic concerns, specifically purchasing power, have emerged as a primary driver for voters, with 56% of respondents citing it as their top priority. This economic focus is shaping the electoral dynamics as candidates navigate a landscape marked by inflation and social crises.
